I have a Kitchenaid model KUDM01TJBS. It seems to be stuck in a certain sequence. When I press start, the "wash" and "normal" indicators come on and the main motor runs. After 8 seconds, the "heater" indicator comes on, then goes off, then the "rinse" , "dry", and "clean" indicators come on in sequence for about 1 second each. The motor says on until the "clean" indicator comes on. After this, everything turns off.

I have checked all of the following items to verify proper operation with an ohmmeter:

I have checked all of the buttons on the panel. All work correctly with the exception of the delay selection. When you push the delay button, the "4 hour delay" indicator flashes 3 times and I cannot sequence to the 2 hour or 8 hour delay. The main motor and the pump motor both work, as I tested the pump motor manually with some jumpers.

I have the feeling the sequence board is bad, but it still is doing something. Shouldn't it just work or not work instead of doing this funny sequence? Am I missing something?

You are welcome, it sounded like it was stuck in one of these modes. Someone pushed the keys in this sequece not knowing what this would cause. The tech sheet for your unit will be in the dishwasher somewhere and will explain a lot about the workings of your unit. Glad I could help before you replaced the control.

I looked all over the unit for a schematic or any other kind of paper which might help. There is no schematic on the back of the toe plate or anywhere else. I looked under the insulation and in every crack I could find. All I have is the owner's manual which doesn't explain much.
